What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of C-reactive protein compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22939635)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with C-reactive protein. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22939635)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of C-reactive protein — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22939635)

Questions about rs1160985

What is rs1160985?

rs1160985 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TOMM40 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1160985 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1160985 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs1160985 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22939635. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
